Are you daydreaming about vacation instead of staying productive at work this summer? Looks like you've been infected by the summer slump, brought about by melting temperatures outside, freezing temperatures in the office, plenty of summertime distractions and a burning desire to drop all tasks at hand.
Don't worry. There's a cure to get you back to the productive leader we all know you are:
- Revisit expectations and goals: Take a step back, re-assess progress to date, and reconcile expectations with reality.
- Stay focused on the big picture, and don’t sweat the small stuff: Take time to clarify what the bigger picture really is for your business and how you can help your team move successfully in that direction.
- Find the strength to muscle through: Buck up and get on with the tasks at hand. Muscling through frustrating situations might not be easy, and it's almost never fun, but it does provide a path to better days.
